Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / November 2007SBS 2000 Terminal Service Licencing
Hello, Currently I'm using a SBS 2000 sever with Terminal Services on it and running in application mode. Since I need 5 users to connect to it. I was wondering about the TS cals issue. I can currently connect 2 users/workstations to the TS server. The other 3 users can't connect. I was wondering do I need to buy addition TS cals? The reason I ask is that I had thought that SBS 2000 had included 5 remote access TS cals in its package. Thanks in advance.

SBS is not intended for use as a TS server, so much so that the ability to set it up as such has been removed in SBS2003. No TS CALs have ever been included with SBS. You've been able to make 2 connections because Windows Server allows for 2 connections for administrative purposes without requiring CALs.

However, there is something I'd would like to understand more clearly. When I first installed the SBS 2000, not knowing only 2 administration cals could connect to the TS, I had connected all 5 of my users to remote access using the Terminal services in application mode, each with it's own login and all of them connected and used there own desktop simutaneously. Then about 3 monthes in, the remaining 3 users could not connect. It had prompted me previously that my terminal services temporty client license will expire in 6 days. With this, I assumed that since it was possible to connect all 5 users once, It would just be a license issue. That it would somehow be possible to connect them. Do you know of any way possible to have all 5 users connect to a single server? > >Currently I'm using a SBS 2000 sever with Terminal Services on it and > >running in application mode.

Yes, it's _possible_ to add TS licensing to SBS2000. It's also a really dumb idea to run your primary business resource as a TS Apps mode server. Got Outlook installed for each user? Outlook should not be installed on an Exchange Server. What permisssion level are you running those users at, on your DC? Using ISA? Users running on your firewall is another bad idea. As Steve suggests, running SBS in TS Apps mode was such a bad idea MS completely blocked the possibility in SBS2003. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >> connections because Windows Server allows for 2 connections for >> administrative purposes without requiring CALs. >Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >possible >to have all 5 users connect to a single server? When you first set up a TS server, you get a grace period to set up the necessary licensing. You didn't do so, and the grace period expired. So now you're back to the core 2 administrative sessions. You won't get more connected until the licensing is set up properly. This is standard TS Server stuff that always has to be done. It's not something SBS-related. Running TS/Apps Mode on SBS is a really bad idea when you know what you're doing (ie have experience with TS). As you appear to not have this standard TS knowledge, it's even riskier. You really should get a separate server for your TS needs, and have it set up for you by a consultant experienced with TS.
